Been lurking here for 3 days and decided that it is time to come out. I have been amazed at the support that has been offered here. This is what I have been looking for. I have been trying to get this weight off for 3 years and due to many different circumstances I have yo-yo'd back and forth. I am bound and determined to do it this time.

I am getting ready to turn 35 and I am married with 4 wonderful children aged 6, 4, 2 & 1--they are my biggest motivator because I want to be able to run and play with them. My husband is the kind that the weight just doesn't matter. I am an emotional and stress eater which is my biggest downfall. I need to get that under control.

Because I have so much to lose I know that I have to break it down and take it 10 pounds at a time or it is just too overwhelming. Looking for support as I trek down this path for the last time. It is time to Get Real and Get it done.

Welcome Getting real.. Good luck with your weight loss efforts..see on your ticker , you lost a few Lbs, Way to go!!
